Reiko's new trail ride?

That just doesn't look safe. It's just destroying everything the tires hit.
 
Those "rock bouncer" guys are just shy of the insanity level of Formula off road racers.. Ive seen them take some crazy nasty rolls once the buggy settles a crowd of guys run out flip him back over and get out of the way just in time for him to refire the engine and get all up in the loud pedal again !


OLD video of the same guy

Those are 43" TSL/SX. I have gone to one of those places with my big dumb mud truck with queer steer and cut 44" TSLs and had a heck of a time. Rock bouncing is for people with deep pockets. I don't even think camo does it and he has (had?) tons of money. I've been out of offroad stuff for a while now but still peruse Pirate periodically.

Last time I went anywhere with a side by side the only way it was going where I was going is tied to my receiver. Somewhere I have a video of a Ranger where I'm going down a trail pulling it and the guy is sawing the tires side to side as the water goes over the hood... my truck didn't even know it was there. He was pissed but I was sick of waiting for him to blaze a trail around every obstacle or constantly winching.

Side by sides are basically for drunks and old men that can't swing a leg over a real ATV and can't afford a Jeep.

Well I don't drink, I daily drive a new grand cherokee, and have a 04 cobra, as well as a '14, and two camaros, and my xp900 side by side. I know usually I can go up a lot of shit most "off road trucks/jeeps" can't whenever were at our off road park. Also my side by side ran me about 19k when i bought it new last year...so if they cant afford a jeep they cant afford that..i think your theory is a bit off, and you're the drunk one.

A truck with IFS or a Jeep with 31" mall terrains aren't "off road trucks/jeeps".

I don't know many people that go offroading in brand new vehicles seriously. If they have the money to spend $40k on something that might get destroyed they probably would have someone else build a buggy for them.

I've never seen a sidebyside get up a 40" rock face. They are mostly for bushbombing.
